As the stars of Paranoia reunited at the DGA Theater for the film's Los Angeles premiere, director Robert Luketic revealed how veteran actors Harrison Ford and Gary Oldman received up-and-comer Liam Hemsworth during production.

Luketic, who typically directs comedies and romantic comedies (Legally Blonde, The Ugly Truth, Killers), described the experience of directing the thriller as "awesome" and had tall praises for Ford.

"It was great," the 23-year-old Australian, who attended the event with fiancée Miley Cyrus, said of working with Ford. "He's a legend; he's a great guy to work with. We were really fortunate to have great writing to work with and a great director, and the whole cast was just really good."

The writing that Hemsworth praised, modified for the big-screen by Barry L. Levy and Jason Dean Hall, is based upon a New York Times bestselling novel of the same name released in 2004 by Joseph Finder, who also penned bestselling thrillers Company Men and Killer Instinct.
